Staff Product Manager (on-site)

Your role

Cloover's platform now runs how thousands of installers get onboarded, verified, invoiced, and financed. As we scale, the hardest product problems no longer sit inside one squad. You'll own that area, set the direction several squads build toward, and stay close enough to the work to make the hard calls yourself.

Reporting to our Head of Product and partnering closely with Staff and Senior Engineers, designers, and operations leads, and act as the senior product voice for your area.

Your mission

• Set the multi-quarter product strategy for that drive Cloovers growth with our Installers and customers through product innovation.  

• Lead product direction across multiple squads, aligning engineering, design, operations, and commercial teams on shared priorities so the platform moves as one system rather than separate features.

• Partner with Staff Engineers, bringing the product perspective and championing our customers in the future direction of our platform.  

• Turn the most ambiguous, high-stakes problems in the business into clear product bets: run discovery with installers and internal teams, dig into usage data, and validate before committing engineering time.

• Stay close to the work: write the specs for the hardest problems yourself, make daily trade-off calls with your squads, and ship features that reach real customers and move real metrics.

• Raise the product bar across the team by setting standards for discovery, requirements, and outcome measurement, and by mentoring other PMs.

• Use AI as a default part of how you work and what we build: prototype, research, and analyse with it, and identify where it can automate operational workflows

Your profile

We care more about how you think and what you've built than where you've been. Here's what will set you up for success in this role:

• Roughly 8+ years in product, including meaningful time at Senior level owning product end to end, with shipped outcomes you can quantify.

• You thrive off ownership! You have experience owning scope outside of your remit and are comfortable making decisions that will supercharge our amazing growth. 

• You have set and driven product strategy spanning multiple teams or a platform, and can walk us through a bet you made, how you got people aligned behind it, and what happened.

• Have built multi-sided or platform products, ideally where internal operations tooling and customer-facing product depend on each other.

• Ability to go deep with engineers on APIs, data models, and system trade-offs, and experience changing technical direction when the product needed it.

• Make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information and can explain the reasoning clearly to founders, engineers, and operations alike.

• Run discovery hands-on: user interviews, data analysis, usability testing, and prototyping to validate direction before building.

• Delivered in environments where urgency is the norm, and knows when to ship and when to push back on scope or quality.

• Based in Berlin and energized by being in the room. We're intentionally office-first: decisions get made in real time, prototypes get stress-tested over lunch, and the founding team is ten meters away. If that's how you thrive, you'll feel at home here.

Nice to have (but not required)

• Experience with fintech, lending, payments, or KYC and compliance products.

• German language proficiency (B2 or above).
